National Summary
When a hazardous waste facility or portion of the facility is no longer going to be used for treatment, storage, or disposal, the facility must be "closed." Closure requires that the facility be taken out of operation in compliance with a preapproved closure plan. Post-closure standards were developed for land disposal units that leave hazardous waste in place at closure. A disposal unit's post-closure period is typically 30 years. All hazardous waste disposal units must have a written post-closure plan.
